The perfect Father's Day gift no matter what type of dad you have

The perfect gift doesn’t have to be expensive, just thoughtful, Esther N McCarthy picks out 10 presents that will put a smile on dad’s face next Sunday

Sunday is the day we let the dads stay in bed an extra hour, we don’t say a word about the cap left off the toothpaste -again and we give them a little gift to show our appreciation. The days of socks and jocks are long gone so put some thought into the gift this year. Here’s 10 ideas that won’t break the bank.

The Sensitive Dad: The Vichy Homme range is hypoallergenic, paraben and alcohol-free for sensitive skin.

The Outdoorsy Dad: This Regatta Semita jacket will keep him toasty as he climbs that mountain.

The Cool Dad: Try the Thomas Sabo bracelet, it has little skulls for extra cred.

The Music Dad: Aldi bluetooth headphones will keep him bopping along.

The Sporty Dad: Bicycle cufflinks from The Bike Shed Cork, if he’s getting dollied up for the night.

The Sentimental Dad: Get his favourite photo on a woodmount from The Canvas Works in Kinsale.

The Punctual Dad: Time for the Fossil Grant Chronograph watch.

The Gadget Dad: A smartphone projector turns his small screen into the big screen.

The Daredevil Dad: Send him to try Ireland’s longest over-water zipline.

The Party Dad: Let him brew his own with this beer kit.
